Definitions
- the present invention relates to completing a subterranean formation and in one of its aspects relates to a method and apparatus for fracturing different levels of a completion interval of a subterranean formation(s) in a single operation.
- hydraulically fracturing is typically carried out by lowering a workstring into the well and isolating that portion of the wellbore which lies adjacent the interval to be fractured by setting packers or the like. Fracturing fluid or slurry (e.g. a heavy gel with or without props) is then pumped down the workstring and into the isolated interval at a pressure sufficient to separate or “fracture” the formation, thereby forming permeable channels within the formation.
- Fracturing fluid or slurry e.g. a heavy gel with or without props
- standard fracturing techniques such as described above will normally produce a fracture or fractures throughout the length of the completion interval.
- these standard fracturing techniques experience problems when used in fracturing long or thick intervals or in intervals which are heterogeneous (i.e. made of several levels or zones which fracture under different pressures). For example, it is difficult, if possible at all, to fracture a second zone in such intervals once a first zone has started to fracture. The fracturing slurry will continue to flow into and enlarge the initial fracture as the pressure increases in the isolated portion of the wellbore rather than initiate additional fractures in the other zones or levels of the fracture interval.
- liquid from the fracturing slurry is typically “lost” into the formation through the initial fracture causing props, e.g. sand, to settle out of the slurry thereby forming a bridge or blockage within the wellbore adjacent the initial fracture.
- props e.g. sand
- Such blockages prevent further flow of slurry to other zones in the fracture interval even if such zones had already experienced some initial breakdown, i.e. fracturing. This results in poor distribution of fractures throughout the fracture interval since often only the zone having the lowest breakdown pressure will be adequately fractured and propped.
- Still another such method is that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,417,284, issued May 23, 1995, wherein a fracturing gel is pumped down a workstring and into one end of the isolated wellbore while a proppant slurry is pumped at the same time through the well annulus and into the other end of the isolated annulus to carry out the fracturing of the different levels within the isolated interval. If a blockage occurs, the fracturing gel and/or slurry continues to be delivered throughout the fracture interval through alternate flowpaths to complete the fracturing of the interval.
- the present invention provides a method and apparatus for fracturing different levels of a completion interval of a subterranean formation which is traversed by a wellbore of a well.
- a workstring comprised of a tubing having a cross-over and a fracturing string is lowered into the wellbore until the fracturing string is positioned adjacent the completion interval to be fractured.
- the fracturing string is comprised of a base pipe which is essentially blank over most of its length (i.e. impermeable) except for a plurality of perforated sections which are spaced along its length. Each perforated section is formed by a plurality of openings (e.g.
- the lengths of the respective perforated sections may vary (e.g. from about 1 to about 300 feet) with the perforated sections being spaced from each other along the base pipe at varying distances (e.g. from about 10 to about 1000 feet).
- the openings in the perforated sections may be merely un-screened openings through the base pipe, similar to the slots in a conventional “slotted liner”.
- a screen means e.g. wire wrap
- At least one alternate flow path e.g. shunt tubes having an inlet and one or more spaced outlets, is provided on the fracturing string and extends longitudinally along the length of the base pipe.
- the wire wrap can be wrapped over the shunt tubes at each perforated section or the shunt tubes can be bent to pass over the wire wrap after the wire is in place on the base pipe.
- a perforated sleeve or shroud can be positioned over the shunts at each perforated section to protect the shunts tubes during installation.
- the workstring is positioned within the wellbore so that the fracturing string will extend substantially through said completion interval and will form a “completion interval annulus” with the wellbore which, in turn, is isolated from the well annulus above.
- a fracturing slurry comprised of a fracturing liquid (e.g. high-viscosity gel) and proppants (e.g. sand), is flowed down the tubing string and out through the cross-over into the top of the completion interval annulus.
- a pad of fracturing fluid without proppant can be pumped into the completion interval annulus before the slurry to initiate the fracturing of the formation, if desired.
- sand bridges or blockages effectively act as packers which isolate portions of the completion annulus which lie between respective adjacent, perforated sections.
- the pumping of the slurry into the top of the completion interval annulus is continued but now it can only flow downward therein through the alternate flowpaths, i.e. shunts tubes.
- the slurry enters the tops of the tubes and flows downward to exit through the spaced outlets at different levels within the completion interval annulus; that is, the slurry exits into the isolated portions of the completion interval annulus.
- Continued pumping of the slurry will cause the pressure to build up within these isolated sections until the different levels within the completion interval are fractured and propped with the proppant. If any level of the completion interval is not to be fractured, no outlets are provided in the shunt tubes at this level; accordingly, no fracturing slurry can exit into the isolated portion of the completion interval annulus which lies adjacent the level which is not to be fractured.
- the completion interval Once the completion interval has been fractured and propped, flow of slurry is ceased and the well is put on production.
- the fluids from the completion interval flow into the completion interval annulus and due to the difference in the viscosity of the slurry liquid (e.g. about 100 centipoises) and the produced fluids (e.g. about 1 centipoise), the produced fluids can readily flow through the sand bridges and into the base pipe through the openings in the perforated sections of the base pipe.
- the openings in the perforated section will be equipped with a screen means (e.g. wire wrap) which allows the produced fluids to pass therethrough while blocking any substantial flow of particulates.

- FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken through the line 3 — 3 of FIG. 2 ;
- FIG. 4 is an elevational view, partly in section, of a further embodiment of the fracturing string of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a partial elevational view of still another embodiment of the fracturing string of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is an elevational view, partly in section, of a portion of a wellbore having another embodiment of a fracturing string of the present invention in an operable position adjacent a completion interval to be fractured.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of the wellbore 11 of a producing and/or injection well 10 .
- Wellbore 11 extends from the surface (not shown) through a long completion interval 12 (i.e. production/injection interval).
- Well 10 is illustrated as having a vertical, “open hole” wellbore but it should be recognized by those skilled in the art that the present invention is equally applicable for use (a) in cased wells which are perforated adjacent the zones to be fractured as well as (b) in inclined and/or horizontal wellbores.
- the terms “upper and lower”, “top and bottom”, as used herein are relative terms and are intended to apply to the respective positions within a particular wellbore while the term “levels” or “zones” is meant to refer to respective positions lying along the wellbore between the terminals of the completion interval 12 .
- completion interval 12 is a formation(s) having a substantial length or thickness which extends along wellbore 11 and which is made up of a plurality (three shown) different levels or zones 13 A, 13 B, and 13 C which, in turn, may be heterogeneous (i.e. each zone breaks down under a different fracturing pressures).
- a workstring 14 is positioned in wellbore 11 and extends from the surface (not shown) and substantially through completion interval 12 .
- workstring 14 includes a fracturing string 15 which is connected through a conventional “crossover” 16 onto the lower end of tubing string 17 and which is positioned adjacent the completion interval 12 when in its operable position.
- Fracturing string 15 is comprised of length of base pipe or conduit 20 which extends substantially throughout the completion interval 12 to be fractured.
- Base pipe 20 is blank (unperforated) throughout most of its length except for a plurality of spaced, perforated sections 21 a , 21 b , 21 c , 21 d which, in turn, are formed by a plurality of openings (e.g. holes 22 a at 21 a , slots 22 b in 21 b , FIG. 2 ) radially spaced around the base pipe and extending in rows throughout respective lengths “L” of base pipe 20 .
- openings e.g. holes 22 a at 21 a , slots 22 b in 21 b , FIG. 2
- Openings 21 may be provided directly through base pipe 20 or each perforated section or may be formed in a separate coupling or length of pipe which is then joined into base pipe 20 at the appropriate spaced intervals. Openings 21 allow fluids to flow into base pipe 20 from the surrounding completion interval annulus 30 a ( FIG. 1 ), for a purpose described below. Both the length “L” of each perforated section 20 a - d (e.g. between about 1 to about 300 feet) and the longitudinal spacing between perforated sections 21 (e.g. from about 10 to about 1000 feet, preferably about 10 feet apart) may vary within a single base pipe 20 depending on the characteristics of the particular interval 12 to be fractured.
- One or more (e.g., four shown in FIG. 3 ) relatively small shunt tubes 24 are spaced radially around and extend longitudinally along the length of fracturing string 15 .
- These shunt tubes may be round in cross-section (e.g. 24 a , FIG. 3 ) or take other cross-sectional shapes (e.g. substantially rectangular, 24 b , FIG. 3 ).
- Each of shunt tubes 24 has one or more outlets (e.g. spaced openings 25 ) along its respective length which provide “alternate flowpaths” for the delivery of fluids to different levels within the completion interval 12 as will be further discussed in detail below.
- Each shunt tube may be open at least at its upper end to allow fluids to enter therein or where a plurality of outlets 25 are present, the entry of fluid may be provided through some of the openings 25 , themselves (e.g., those near the top of each the tube). Further, while outlet openings 25 in each shunt tube 24 may open through the front of the tube, they may also exit through each side of shunt tube.
- Shunt tubes of this type have been used to provide alternate flowpaths for fluids in a variety of different well operations, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,945,991; 5,082,052; 5,113,935; 5,161,613; and 5,161,618.
- each perforated section 21 are designed to allow flow of fluid into base pipe 20 , it is important that the flow of particulate material (e.g. proppants, produced sand, etc.) be blocked. This is not a problem when no substantial amount of particulate material will be produced along with the formation fluids from the fractured formation. Accordingly, unscreened openings (e.g. slots 22 c , FIG. 5 ) may be provided in base pipe 20 in the same manner as the small slots are provided in well known, commercially-available “slotted liners”.
- particulate material e.g. proppants, produced sand, etc.
- a screening means is provided over the length “L” of each perforated section 21 and is sized to allow the flow of fluids therethrough while blocking any substantial flow of particulates, this being well understood in the well screen art.
- the screening means may be comprised of any well known material which screens out the particulate material while allowing fluids to pass therethrough.
- the screening means is comprised of a continuous length of a wrap wire 31 which, in turn, may be cut in a “keystone” cross-section (not shown).
- Wire 31 is wrapped around base pipe 20 to cover the openings 22 throughout a respective perforated section 21 and can be welded or otherwise secured thereto.
- Each coil of wire is slightly spaced from its adjacent coils to thereby form fluid passageways (not shown) between the respective coils. This is basically the same technique as is commonly used in the manufacture of many commercially-available, wire-wrap screens used in well completions.
- wire 31 is first wrapped around base pipe 20 at each perforated section 21 before shunt tubes are positioned and secured onto the base pipe.
- Each shunt tube is then slightly bent at each perforated section 21 to conform with the outer surface of the wire-wrap 31 as it transverses same.
- a perforated sleeve or shroud 33 may be placed over an entire perforated section 21 to protect shunt tube 24 during installation into wellbore 11 and to act as a centralizer for fracturing string 15 , if needed.
- Shroud 33 can be made in two pieces and then welded or otherwise secured together after the pieces are fitted around section 21 .
- shunt tubes 24 a are first positioned across perforated sections 21 and then wire 31 is wound over both base pipe 20 and shunts 24 a .
- the wire 31 protects the shunt tubes at each perforated section 21 .
- the gap i.e. well annulus 30 , FIG. 1
- the gap between the wellbore 11 and the fracturing string 15 , especially at the wire-wrapped, perforated sections 21 , will be small (i.e. 1 to 11 ⁇ 2 inches) in most well completions.
- Fracturing string 15 is positioned adjacent completion interval 12 and packer 34 , which is carried on the workstring, is set to isolate the completion interval annulus 30 a which lies adjacent completion interval 12 from the rest of the well annulus 30 .
- wellbore 11 and workstring 14 will be filled with the completion fluid that is usually present in wellbore 11 as workstring 14 is lowered therein.
- a fracturing slurry (arrows 40 , FIGS. 1 and 2 ) is pumped down workstring 14 , i.e. down through tubing 17 , out ports 18 of cross-over 16 , and into the top of completion interval annulus 30 a .
- the fracturing slurry may be made up of any well-known carrier fluids commonly used for fracturing formations (e.g., water, etc.) and proppants (e.g. sand) but preferably, the carrier fluid used in the fracturing slurry 40 of the present invention is a relatively, high-viscosity commercially-available “gel” (e.g.
- fracturing operations 100+centipoises of the type routinely used in conventional fracturing operations (e.g., Versagel, product of Halliburton Company, Duncan, Okla.
- fracturing liquid e.g. gel with no props
- a pad of fracturing liquid can be flowed into the wellbore before the slurry to initiate the fracture(s) if desired.
- sand-outs i.e. sand bridges or blockages 45
- sand bridges or blockages 45 will form sequentially at each of the perforated sections.
- These blockages will form rapidly due to the leak-off of liquid from the slurry into both the zones of the completion interval and the base pipe 20 .
- These bridges form effective barriers which prevent flow pass those points in the completion interval annulus 30 a . That is, due to the high viscosity of the gel (e.g. 100+ centipoises), the liquid from the slurry can not readily flow through the sand bridges 45 once the bridges have formed. Only slight amounts of liquid from the slurry, if any, will pass through a respective sand bridge thereby slowly expanding the size of the sand bridge.
- each shunt tube 24 a is of a different length and has a single outlet at the bottom thereof through which the slurry exits at different levels within completion interval 12 .
- the sand bridges 45 effectively act as packers which, in turn, which isolate the respective portions of completion interval annulus 30 a which lie therebetween.
- Continued pumping of slurry through the shunt tubes 24 and out into the respective levels of the completion interval annulus 30 a will increase the pressure of the slurry within the respective isolated portions of the annulus 30 a until a fracture is initiated in the respective completion zone(s).
- slurry is then diverted on downstream through the shunts and the process is repeated until the fracturing operation is completed. Accordingly, all of the desired completion zones can be fractured substantially throughout their respective lengths by merely pumping the fracturing slurry until all of the desired zones in the completion interval are fractured and propped.
- each shunt tubes 24 is left blank or unperforated (i.e. have no openings 25 therein) wherein the blank portion of the shunts tubes will lie adjacent zone 13 B when fracturing string 15 is in an operable position within the wellbore.
- Sand bridges 45 will still form at the perforated sections 21 , as described above, but now the slurry 45 can only flow into the isolated portions of annulus 30 a which lie adjacent zones 13 A and 13 C and not into zone 13 b , thereby leaving zone 13 B unfractured.
- well annulus 30 is closed at the surface and wellbore 11 and workstring 14 is filled with a non-compressible, well completion fluid which is usually present after the drilling of wellbore 11 has been completed.
- Fracturing slurry 40 is flowed down tubing 17 and out through cross-over 16 into the top of completion interval annulus 30 a . Since the flow of liquid from the slurry can not flow through perforated sections 21 , it can only flow down the completion interval annulus 30 a and into the formation at its “weakest” or most permeable level. As it flows into the formation, it forces at least some of the completion fluid in the annulus 30 a ahead of it into the formation.
- both liquid from slurry 40 and completion fluid (arrows 55 in FIG. 6 ) from within completion interval annulus 30 a flow into the fracture due to the pressure of the fracturing slurry being pumped into annulus 30 a .
- completion fluid 55 is displaced from annulus 30 a
- liquid 40 from the slurry now begins to enter base pipe 20 through the perforated sections (e.g. 21 a , 21 b , and 21 d ) farthest from fracture 50 .
- As liquid 40 enters base pipe 20 it forces completion fluid 55 out through perforated section (e.g. 21 c ) nearest fracture 50 .
- Tubing string 17 and cross-over 16 can be retrieved and replaced with a string of production tubing (not shown) which, in turn, can be “stabbed-in” or otherwise connected to fracturing string 15 , the latter normally being left in place. Fluids will flow from the production zone(s) within the completion interval 12 and into completion interval annulus 30 a . While the sand bridges 45 are substantially impermeable to the flow of high-viscosity liquids (e.g. fracturing gel having a viscosity of about 100+ centipoises), these bridges are readily permeable to the much-lower viscosity, produced fluids (e.g.
- the production fluids can freely flow through the sand bridges 45 which now act as mini gravel-packs, the wire-wrapped screens 31 (if present), openings 22 in perforated sections 21 , and into base pipe 20 for production to the surface.
